[Saba Sports News] It has been reported that legendary driver Michael Andretti, who plans to join Formula 1 in 2026, may need to acquire an existing team rather than setting up his own team. The news of this requirement has attracted attention, as Formula 1 believes that Andretti’s application to join is not sufficient, doubting that Andretti Team will be a competitive force. The Andretti name does not hold the value that Michael Andretti believes it does. The next two years present a challenge that the team has not faced before, but Andretti remains optimistic about the potential growth and profitability that their addition could bring to Formula 1. However, other existing teams may not be interested in welcoming an eleventh team due to concerns about sponsorship competition and potential loss of commercial revenue.
